Except the whole thing is ‘coercion’. Those are four different means of coercion. Conscience is an appeal to empathy. Ego is an appeal to pride. It’s the same bloody thing, except you’re not being ridiculously redundant by including ‘coercion’ in an acronym about ways to coerce.

You’re forgetting the Caldari predilection to copy the effective tools of others and amend them to make it seem we thought of it the whole time ourselves even as we use them.

Yeah, gonna go out on a limb here and say that who thought of it first doesn’t change the fact that you’re effectively trying to make an acronym that spells ‘ACRONYM’ where the first word is ‘acronym’ and have it mean ‘acronym’.
In the Caldari mind, irking pedants is fine so long as it means circumventing intellectual property rights.
Uh. Just to mention, pilots, being edgy as a Blooder convention and representing that as representative of “the Caldari mind” is one of Veik’s hobbies.
What’s edgy about what I said? Caldari using the effective tools of others and making it their own?
It’s historical record that the Caldari had no notions of finance capitalism prior to contact with the Gallente. However it was an effective tool to achieve rapid industrialization and colonial development and now the State is a corporate society.
Why don’t you go back to limp wristed platitudes about how tragic the cluster is, Aria.

Sa-Baron Chakaid seems to really have a problem with the Ammatar Mandate, to the point where I’m kind of scratching my head about why. At first I thought it was Samira, but now … I don’t know. He’s stopped aiming at her personally but keeps going after the Mandate. Is there any evidence of their involvement in any numbers? Like, at all? It seems like he’s going to keep repeating this accusation until it’s accepted as evidence, or “something everyone knows,” or something.
Is he trying to weaken House Ardishapur? If he’s trying to score points for the True Amarr “right to rule” (he’d be far from unique) he’s being way too specific about his target, focusing on the Ammatar and not on “subhumans” generally.
I don’t get it.

Well, I asked what the Republic should do.
What they are actually doing might or might not be related…
